- Love the orangoutang and expression. Face is great but need those hands. Lighting is dull.
- This is a good zoo shot and they are always fun to do. However, the animals should be photographed much as people would be photographed. We don't want to amputate the hands and arms of the sugject be it a person or primate. This image would be improved greatly if the maker had pulled back some and included the hands and rope as part of the image. Otherwise the face and expression are great.
- Not pleased with the composition
- Exacting detail and lighting- you nailed it perfectly ! Just one suggestion: Crop about 1" or 1 _ " off the left side so he's not in center and, in turn, it makes him look more handsome.
